Ok can a newb like me install Windows 7 without outside help?

I agree with SNO's post as well, however, the machine was built 8 months ago and I highly doubt he has it anymore.

I am assuming you are using Windows 7 64 bit  ( your link you posted was for the Windows XP 64 bit  )

Windows 7 64 bit Gigabyte MB drivers Page:
http://www.gigabyte.us/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=3031&ost=windows+7+64bit#anchor_os

download the following:
AUDIO:
Realtek Function driver for Realtek Azalia audio chip

Chipset / SATA Raid:
AMD Chipset Driver (include chipset\sata raid driver)

LAN:
Realtek LAN Driver


optional Drivers : ( these should not be required, and are optional )
LAN:
Realtek Ethernet Diagnostic Utility

SATA Raid:
GIGABYTE SATA2 RAID Driver

I did not post links, just look under each section, and download & install the ones I listed above, with the exact same Driver Name on the GIGABYTE Support page weblink I posted at the top of my post...

hope this helps.......

NOTE: it is possible that when installing Windows 7, that it already installed some of these drivers for you...... this is a 50/50 ordeal.....

I agree with SNO's comment as well

all of these drivers should've been d/l by win7 automatically.  it did it on mine.  weird.

I think it did, I was noticing that the current drivers matched the ones I d/led so I didn't install them.
